shall work in me : I have Him to make me to be a
child of God.
Beloved young Christian learn, I beseech you, to
understand the simplicity and the glory of being a
true Christian. It is to receive Jesus, to receive Him
in all His fulness, to receive Him in all the glorious
relations in which the Father gives Him to you.
Take Him as your Prophet, as your Wisdom, your
Light, your Guide. Take Him as your Priest, who
renews you, purifies you, sanctifies you, brings you
near to God, takes you and forms you wholly for His
service.
Take Him as your King who governs you,
protects you and blesses you. Take him as your
Head, your Exemplar, your Brother, your Life, your
All. The giving of God is a divine, an ever-progressive
and effectual communication to your soul. Let
your taking be the child-like, cheerful, continuous
opening of mouth and heart for what God gives, the
full Jesus and all His grace. To every prayer the
answer of God is : Jesus, all is in Him, all in Him is
Let your response always be: Jesus, in Him
for you.
I have all. You are, you live in all things as " children
of God, through faith in Jesus Christ."
O my Father, open the eyes of my heart to understand
what it is to be a child of God : to live always
as a child through always believing in Jesus, Thine
only Son. O let every breath of my soul be, faith in
Jesus, a confidence in Him, a resting in Him, a surrender
to Him, to work all in me.
